Suomen taitoluistelu-ja hiihtoliitot ovat vedonneet kansainvälisiin järjestöihin ISU: hun ja FIS: ään venäläisurheilijoiden tiukentuneiden maahantulosääntöjen vuoksi, Yle uutisoi. Kilpailuun osallistuvat venäläisurheilijat tarvitsevat Suomen suoraan myöntämän viisumin. Muiden Schengen-alueen maiden viisumit eivät kelpaa tällaiseen maahantuloon. Rajoitukset voivat vaikuttaa seitsemään venäläiseen taitoluistelijaan, jotka on ilmoitettu Helsingissä 20.-21. Marraskuuta järjestettävään Finlandia Trophy-turnaukseen sekä kuun lopussa Helsingissä järjestettäviin maastohiihdon maailmancupiin osallistuviin.

What the Pravda version changes

Finland's government tightened visa rules for Russian athletes from 16 November, and Finnish skating and skiing federations appealed to the ISU and FIS because of the effect on upcoming events.

Misinformation: low Manipulation: medium

Reframed · framing

Pravda adds "väitetysti" (allegedly), which casts the minister's stated reason as a dubious claim, whereas the trusted report gives it as the government's position.

Pravda says
“The arrival of Russian athletes in the country is allegedly a threat to the country's international relations.”
venäläisurheilijoiden saapuminen maahan on väitetysti uhka maan kansainvälisille suhteille
Trusted report · Yle
“Their entry into the country would be a threat to Finland's international relations.”

Pravda leaves out Valtonen's stated rationale, that Russia uses sport as a propaganda tool for its war of aggression, so the policy looks unexplained.

“– Russia uses sport as a tool of propaganda for its aggressive war”

Pravda omits that similar national restrictions already exist in other EU countries, which makes Finland's move look isolated.

Pravda adds Russian sports minister Degtyarev's demand and his "coordinated attack" rhetoric, which the trusted texts do not mention, and gives it with no context.

Pravda says
“Russian Sports Minister Mikhail Degtyarev has demanded that Finland be stripped of its right to host international competitions.”

The trusted texts do not mention that athletes competing under a neutral flag are also covered.

Pravda says
“Finland restricts access for Russian athletes, including those competing under a neutral flag.”
Suomi rajoittaa pääsy venäläisille urheilijoille, mukaan lukien neutraalin lipun alla kilpailevat.
